pounds. Final selection of the tile should be based upon the breaking strength and the appropriate installation method.
Tile integrity is critically dependent upon proper installation. The manufacturer recommends strict adherence to industry
installation guidelines set forth in ANSI A108, A118 and A136.
Chemical Resistance, ASTM C650-04
Chemical resistance is measured using ASTM C650-04. A tile sample is placed in continuous contact with a variety of
chemicals for 24 hours, rinsing the surface and then examining the surface for visible variation.
SHADE VARIATIONS
Tiles range from complete consistency to a more random appearance.
Here’s an overview of color and shading of individual tile selections.
MONOCHROMATIC (V0) | Very uniform, monochromatic color
LOW (V1) | Consistent color within each tile and from tile to tile
MEDIUM (V2) | Color variation within each tile
HIGH (V3) | Some variation from tile to tile, and within each tile
RANDOM (V4) | Considerable variation from tile to tile
Industry Standards
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are nationally
recognized organizations, which identify and develop industry test methods and technical standards.
Neither ASTM nor ANSI establish an industry standard identifying a minimum COF value whereby ceramic tile may be
labeled “slip resistant.” All Standard Grade ceramic tile products manufactured by or for Lifeproof meet or exceed the
requirements of ANSI A137.1. See product pages for series-specific technical data.
Abrasion Resistance, ASTM C1027-99
The durability of glazed tile is measured subjectively by observing the visible surface abrasion of the tile when subjected
to the ASTM C1027-99 testing procedure. The manufacturer evaluates porcelain tile recommended for floor applications
using this test method which includes the following classification system:
